Aren't these out of a 7 Series?
E32, last I saw them on a loaded 750iL V12.

From the tiny picture they look like E32 750i wheels.

Thanks for the response guys

Don't suppose anyone knows weather there an alloy or a hub cap for an alloy ?
(Ie a bit like the throwing stars from a e34 m5 wheel)

These are alloys.

Also being used polished on an E21 by someone, not to my taste, but certainly not hub caps.

Factory set I think.
Style 3 Flat dish face / Forged alloy. They are 15" and 7j as you may already know.
You have convertors for the 5 bolt fitment?

The convertors will be more expensive than the wheels i think.

I have spotted these on a rotting 750iL in Mumbai but have no idea how they will look on a pre-facelift chromie.
Any Photoshop experts here?

Saw a set for $149 on ebay,com
How much do the conversion kits cost? Around $200?

Put up pics when you can.
